U/M TITLE: REFUSE COLLECTION CONTRACT: REVISION ALLOWING THREE YEAR TERM AND PROVISION FOR CURBSIDE RECYCLING ~ ~ ~___ RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt Resolution No. 90-60 authorizing the Mayor to execute a revised Refuse Collection Contract with Coast Waste Management, Inc., to provide for the operation of a City- wide Curbside Rec able Collection Program: and adopt Resolution No. Vb-6r revising the monthly refuse collection rate to include a recycling service rate. ITEM EXPLANATION: On March 14, 1989, the City Council approved a contract with Coast Waste Management, Inc., (Contractor) to operate a six (6) month Pilot Curbside Recycling project . The project, involving approximately 1,000 homes (500 in the northwest quadrant, 500 in the southeast quadrant), began on May 1, 1989 to provide curbside collection of recyclables on a weekly basis. Staff monitored and evaluated the project during the six (6) month period, and upon conclusion of the pilot project in November, evaluated the results to determine if city-wide expansion of the recycling program would be cost effective. After assessing the results of the project, staff concluded that the project was an unqualified success, achieving household participation rates of 54% on a weekly basis, 78% on a monthly basis, with 264,540 lbs. of recyclables collected during the pilot project (see Exhibit Itltl). Based on the success of the program, staff entered into negotiations with the Contractor in December, 1989, to extend the project City-wide. Negotiations were also undertaken to amend certain portions of the Refuse Collection Contract pertainingto refuse collection services providedtothe City of Carlsbad. Negotiations have been completed and the proposed contract revises the present refuse collection contract to provide for operation of a Curbside Recyclables Collection program. Resolution No. 9&-& authorizes the Mayor to execute a revised Refuse Collection Contract to allow provision for a Curbside Recycling program. The proposed recycling program is initially directed towards single family households, expanding to multi-family residential, commercial and industrial curbside recyclables collection within the first year of the contract. Implementation of the single-family household program will begin in June, 1990 and phase in over a three month period. Multi-family and Commercial/Industrial programs will be developed in September, 1990 and March, 1991, respectively. . I PAGE 2 OF AB# /0,53/ The contract also requires the Contractor to provide the bins necessary to support the Cityls clean-up campaigns and Christmas Tree Recycling program. In addition, refuse generated at municipal facilities will be collected by the Contractor at no charge to the City. The present contract is renewable on a year-to-year basis with either party providing written notice to terminate 90 days in advance of the anniversary date of September 1. Staff recommends a three year term for the proposed contract, beginning on March 1, 1990 and ending on February 28, 1993. Thereafter, the Contract would automatically renew on a year to year basis, with either party having the right to terminate on the anniversary date with 180 days notice. The longer term is recommended in recognition of the $600,000 capital investment required of the Contractor to begin the recycling program and the contractorts assumption of additional refuse collection costs. The proposed contract is further summarized in Exhibit t121t. During negotiations of the Refuse Collection and Recycling contract, issues such as billing and collection services, franchise fees and variable rates were discussed. These issues have been resolved and no changes to the Contract related to those areas are recommended. The Curbsi.de Recycling Pilot Project, has demonstrated that curbside recycling can divert materials from the landfill. Also demonstrated was the fact that revenues received from the sale of recyclables did not offset the cost of collecting the materials. For example, in the pilot project, the net cost of collection was $1.71 per month/household. Economies of scale which would occur with the City-wide program and refinements in the collection process achieved through negotiation of the contract will result in a proposed $1.00 per month/household net operational cost. Staff recommends that the refuse collection rate be increased $1.00 per month for each residential and commercial refuse collection customer. The refuse collection rate increase will not take effect until June 1, 1990. Resolution No. %-d/ revises the monthly refuse collection rate to include the aforementioned recycling service rate. Implementation of a curbside recyclables collection program is one of many steps that will be required to implement the recycling component of AB 939, the Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989. The Act specifies that by January 1, 1991, each county must prepare a source reduction and recycling element for its unincorporated areas. By July 1991, each city must prepare, adopt and submit, to the county, a source reduction and recycling element. A summary of the Integrated Waste Management Act is provided in Exhibit lt3It. Staff is preparing a work program which will define the tasks and costs associated with implementation of the Act. PAGE 3 OF AB# /4/53/ FISCAL IMPACT: The Contractor's cost of operating the program ($447,000) will be offset by revenues from the sale of recyclables ($195,000) and reduced tipping fees ($53,000) resulting in a net operating cost of $199,000. To offset this cost will require a monthly subsidy of $1.00 per refuse collection customer (See Comparative Rate Study Exhibit 1v411). The Contractor has agreed to provide, at not cost to the City, weekly refuse collection services to City facilities and sufficient 40 cubic yard bins to support the annual Clean-up and Christmas Tree Recycling program. This will result in an estimated annual savings of $35,000 to $50,000 for the City. The proposed contract contains a provision forthe Contractor to request a rate increase in proportion to increases in the cost of delivering services, i.e. disposal site fees, fuel and labor. It is anticipated that an additional collection fee increase may be required due to increased disposal site fees : a) Previously, the landfill did not utilize scales to determine weight related disposal fees. The weight determination was based on the size (capacity) of the refuse truck. It is believed that the estimated weight may have been as much as one-third below actual weight. The installation of scales at the landfill will result in increased fees due to improved accuracy of the weight assessment. b) Tipping fees were increased from $10.50/ton to $13.50/ton in September 1989 and the Contractor did not request a rate increase. County staff is recommending that landfill tipping fees again be increased from $13.50/ton to $18.00/ton, effective July 1, 1990. Should this increase occur, the Contractor will have experienced a $7.50/ton (71%) increase in landfill tipping fees in less than 12 months. It is very likely that the Contractor will request a rate increase to offset most or all of these increases. Finally, implementation of AB 939 and continued administration of its provisions may result in a recommendation for an increase in the collection fee of as much as $1.00 per customer, per month. A one dollar a month increase in the collection fee generates approximately $190,000 annually. PAGE 4 OF AB# 1 qs3/ Thus, the Curbside Recycling program, tipping fee increases and AB 939 may increase the residential refuse collection rate from $7.60/month to $ll.OO/month over the next twelve months.

Weekly collection and disposal of refuse and weekly collections and marketing of recyclables. Recyclables collected include, but are not limited to, aluminum and metal cans, glass, PET and HDPE bottles, newsprint, paper and cardboard. Three (3) years beginning March 1, 1990 and ending February 28, 1993, automatically renewable year to year, thereafter, with either party able to terminate on the anniversary date with 180 days written notice. Refuse collection rates remain the same as adopted by the City Council December, 1988. A rate increase of $1.00 per customer/month is proposed to offset the cost of operating the recyclables collection program. As a result of the recycling rate, the monthly refuse collection rate will increase from $7.60 to $8.60 for residential customers and a commensurate amount for commercial customers. The Contractor and City agree to develop a rate indexing system to provide a mechanism to authorize requests for rate increases and evaluate requested rate increases. Such index is to be developed by August 31, 1990. Two percent (2%) of gross receipts from refuse collection services to offset city's cost of billing and administration of contract. Contractor will at no cost to the City: 1. Collect and dispose of refuse generated by City facilities. 2. Collect recyclables from City facilities. 3. Provide sufficient 40 cubic yard bins to support Annual Clean-up campaigns. 4. Provide sufficient 40 cubic yard bins to support Christmas Tree Recycling program. MISCELLANEOUS Technical revisions to the present contract were made relating to the Immigration Reform Act, Insurance and Indemnity. . Exhibit "3" INTEGRATED WABTE MANAGEMENT ACT 1. The Act replaces the current part-time California Waste Management Board (CWMB) with a six-member, full-time California Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB) consisting of: 0 one member, appointed by the Governor, with private- sector, solid waste industry experience: e one member, appointed by the Governor, who has been an official of a nonprofit organization promoting recycling and environmental protection: two members appointed by the Governor who represent the public: 0 two other members representing the public -- one each appointed by the Senate Rules Committee and by the Speaker of the Assembly. AB 939 also institutes strict conflict-of-interest restrictions governing Board members' income sources, Board actions, and ex- parte communications. 2. The Act requires that each county establish a task force to coordinate city source reduction and recycling activities for inclusion in countrywide integrated waste management plans. 3. By January 1, 1991, each county must prepare a source reduction and recycling element for its unincorporated areas. By July 1, 1991, each city must prepare, adopt, and submit to the county a source reduction and recycling element. The elements must include the following components: waste characterization study: source reduction component: recycling component: composting component: solid waste capacity component: public information component; funding component: special waste component: and, household hazardous waste component . * Exhibit "3" INTE GRATED WASTE MANAGEMENT ACT SOMMARY 4. Each county must prepare a countywide siting element specifying areas for disposal or transformation sites needed for the ensuing 15 years, to provide for residual wastes which cannot be diverted through source reduction, recycling, and composting. 5. Each county must prepare, adopt and submit to the State Board an integrated waste management plan which includes the city and county elements for source reduction and recycling and the countywide siting element. The Act establishes a statewide hierarchy for integrated waste management, using the priorities of (1) source reduction, (2) recycling and composting, and (3) environmentally safe land disposal and transformation (at the discretion of local governments) . 6. Cities and countries are required to divert 25 percent of solid waste from landfills through source reduction, recycling and composting by January 1, 1995. By January 1, 2000, a 50 percent diversion is mandated. Alternative goals may be allowed by the Board where the 50 percent goal is proven not to be feasible. 7. The Board must approve or disapprove a plan within 120 days of receipt. If a plan is disapproved, the local jurisdiction must make corrections within 120 days. The Board may impose administrative civil penalties of up to $10,000 per day for failure to submit an adequate plan. 8. The preparation and implementation of local plans are to be funded by fees imposed by local jurisdictions on generators of solid waste. 9. The Board must adopt minimum statewide standards for solid waste handling and disposal. 10. The existing comprehensive system of permits, inspection and site cleanup and maintenance for all solid waste facilities in the state is strengthened through increase Board regulation and guidance.
